Submitted by deepak on Tue, 01/10/2023 - 10:51Modulus of Rigidity (Shear Modulus)
The modulus of rigidity is a physical quantity that measures the ability of a material to resist deformation when a shear force is applied.
In simple words, it tells us how difficult it is to change the shape of a material without changing its volume.
Definition:
The modulus of rigidity is defined as the ratio of shear stress to shear strain within the elastic limit of a material.
